(Psalms 90:1-2 NKJV)
LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. {2} Before
the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and
the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

(Exodus 34:6-7 NKJV)
And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God,
merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,
{7} "keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression
and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children and the children's children to the third and
the fourth generation."

(Isaiah 6:1-4 NKJV)
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne,
high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. {2} Above
it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face,
with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. {3} And one cried
to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole
earth is full of His glory!" {4} And the posts of the door were shaken
by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

These are just some
of the descriptions of God in the Bible. They tell us that God is everlasting
and unchanging, that He is merciful, kind and gracious, that He is just
and faithful, that He is holy and without sin. He is abounding in goodness
and truth. He is a God we can trust utterly.

God Is Like Jesus

Above all God is
like Jesus. Jesus is the "perfect image" of God. Jesus came to show us
exactly what God is like.(John 14:9b-10a NKJV)He who has seen Me has seen
the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? {10} "Do you not
believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?. And (Hebrews 1:1-3
NKJV) God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past
to the fathers by the prophets, {2} has in these last days spoken to us
by His Son,..... who being the brightness of His glory and the express
image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power,
when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of
the Majesty on high." And....(John 1:18 NKJV) {18} No one has seen God
at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father,
He has declared Him.

Jesus is kind because
God is kind. Jesus healed people because God likes to heal people. Jesus
liked the poor because God likes the poor. Jesus taught the truth because
God is Truth. Jesus was sinless because God id sinless and Jesus taught
with authority because God is God. Jesus tells us what God is like but
as an "image" as a small scale representation that we can understand.
Jesus, though He was God, did not hurl galaxies around while He was on
earth. He became like God at a human level. Jesus is our clearest signpost
to what God is like. Jesus was uncompromising yet merciful, kind yet full
of truth, wise yet humble. He always acted in love because God always
acts in love and freedom .He is utterly free and wishes us to be free
also.

Jesus used His great
power to heal and help others. God also wants to use His great power to
heal and help you. If you have prayed to receive Jesus Christ into your
life and if you have submitted your life to Him the God's power is in
you. Jesus Christ and all His power, resources and love has come to dwell
in you. You have a huge power source right in the middle of your life.
Call out to God and ask Him now to help you, to heal you and to show you
how much power and love He has put inside you so you can continue to walk
with Him.
